Description
The colour is a medium amber. On the nose there’s a real burst of black liquorice, with thick malt, black pepper and a sour-beer note. Big oak. Slathered with vanilla. Thick caramel. Water brings out sourdough and pine needles. Typical Jack but amped up.On the palate there is more caramel and vanilla, with the spices more in the background. Quite malty though. Oily mouthfeel – a bit oilier with water. Smoother and more subtle than you might expect, given the power of the nose.The finish is long and developing from toffee to big spices and pencil shavings, and back to the black liquorice.
